]]>More Real
Most progress tracking tools, such as your step count or the length of your class, offer something tangible to fall back on. Looking at these numbers will make your progress feel more real, and that will motivate you to keep going and give it your all during your workouts.
Unhelpful Tools
Not all progress tracking tools are necessarily helpful. Using the scale to track your progress can do you more harm than good because it doesn’t properly reflect certain improvements that you made. Each progress tracking tool, in general, isn’t worth obsessing about because they’re just a part of the full picture.
Workout Journal
Keeping a workout journal may feel like a hustle at first, but it will be quite helpful in the long run. Whenever you feel like giving up, you can open up your journal and look back at all the progress you’ve made so far. It’s highly unlikely you’ll want to give up after having this new wind at your back!

Progress tracking is also a great way to keep yourself accountable. When you’re regularly logging your progress after each workout, it’s much more difficult to skip them and the process of writing down your progress or taking pictures will be all the motivation you need.
Smart watch vs. fitness band: what's the difference? A fitness band is a slim little wrist gadget that can track some parameters and alert you of a few things (incoming phone calls, notifications, and alarms). A smart watch, with its larger screen, can do a lot more, from checking emails and social media to…well, I don't have one, so I'm not that sure! . 
How can it measure steps? It uses a 3-axis accelerometer to measure acceleration based on start, intensity and end of motion. 
How can it measure heart rate? It uses a LED light to shine light onto your vessels, so that a sensor can measure the speed of the blood flowing. 
How does it track sleep? It uses heart rate and your movement at night to estimate which phase of sleep you might be in (non-REM vs REM, etc.). 
How does it count calories? It estimates calories burned using your BMR (basal metabolic rate, which is based on your weight, height, gender, age) and some fancy-smancy mystery math involving your heart rate during your workout. . 
How accurate are these fitness trackers and smart watches? The science seems to say that they're not *so* accurate. They're a work in progress, and there's a lot of improvements to be made. Exercise tracking and calorie counting can be especially inaccurate, but at least consistently so – so a motivated person can still definitely benefit. . Making Future Plans
Tracking your progress will also help you determine how close you are to reaching your goal and it helps you switch up your exercise regime and diet if needed. It will also drive the focus and direction of your fitness routine in the future, and point out the changes you should make.

]]>Tape Measure
If you’re trying to slim down or bulk up, the tape measure will do a much better job helping you track your progress than a scale. Use it to measure areas that you’re targeting with your exercises, such as waist, biceps, chest, and thighs.
Looking Back
You can also track your progress by comparing your body now to the way it looked before. Most people do it by taking progress photos because they can be a great source of motivation. Trying your old clothes is also an option.
Subjective Feel
Working out isn’t only good for your body, but also your mind, and feeling comfortable in your own skin is the only thing that matters. Sticking to a fitness routine that makes you healthy and confident is much more important than the numbers on a scale or a tape measure.
